Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where sometimes the rotation angle of a sniper weapon in siege mode would become out of sync with the location of the enemy being targeted
Fixed an issue where Backbreaker Siege's damage buff for "first auto-attack" was getting a second chance when attack was nullified by any kind of negating shield spell
Fixed an issue where the Solo Skirmish difficulty level for the opponent was being applied to your AI teammates, causing them to sometimes not use their abilities
Various localization fixes

Known Issues

Locking Observer slots in Custom Matches only works when both slots are empty
The Private Match setting only works when the game is already created, so someone can join in-between
Hive Link does not have a cast ring around hives to show where the ability can be cast
Global Chat does not reflect your changed name until you have restarted the game
Due to the new leveling system, Replays from before June 28th, 2017 will be deleted on September 6th during the Gameforge to Sparkypants publisher transfer. We suggest video capturing any replays you would like to save

So that's the lowdown on Deadeye! Stay tuned for future releases as well as some video content coming up. Thanks as always and let us know if you catch any bugs we missed!!
